Historia
What if the most dangerous serial killer is the one who hunts her own kind? By day, Leah Nachtnebel is celebrated as one of the greatest pianists of our time. By night, she becomes a ruthless killer, using her brilliant mind to hunt predators who believe they’ve escaped justice. But when her latest target unearths a connection to her dark past, Leah is thrust into the crosshairs of two relentless forces: an FBI agent determined to uncover her secrets and a sadistic serial killer who doesn’t just see her as a traitor—he sees her as a trophy he must possess.

Loved the story and how it was written. Did not like the narration. The female voice was “on point”. The male voices sounded automated. Took away from the story.

Historia
Alma Cruz, the celebrated writer at the heart of The Cemetery of Untold Stories, doesn’t want to end up like her friend, a novelist who fought so long and hard to finish a book that it threatened her sanity. So when Alma inherits a small plot of land in the Dominican Republic, her homeland, she has the beautiful idea of turning it into a place to bury her untold stories—literally. She creates a graveyard for the manuscript drafts and revisions, and the characters whose lives she tried and failed to bring to life and who still haunt her.

In Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Egan's highly acclaimed first novel, set in 1978, the political drama and familial tensions of the 1960s form a backdrop for the world of Phoebe O'Connor, age eighteen. Phoebe is obsessed with the memory and death of her sister Faith, a beautiful idealistic hippie who died in Italy in 1970. In order to find out the truth about Faith's life and death, Phoebe retraces her steps from San Francisco across Europe, a quest which yields both complex and disturbing revelations about family, love, and Faith's lost generation.

Meh….
Revisado: 03-19-24
After reading this, I question why this book was so acclaimed. The story was good but a bit mundane. I didn’t feel Phoebe’s motivation. The characters lacked depth or perhaps the story didn’t. It felt like it was mostly an illustration of two young women’s poor decisions. I could not connect to the characters or the story.

I could not connect with the characters even though they had plenty of appeal just weren’t written deep enough. Actually too many characters and not deep enough on any of them. Writing needs to be more co code. Lots of irrelevant info. Didn’t like the end but happy it did.

Historia
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

David Copperfield 2023!
Revisado: 11-21-23
Undoubtedly the modern version of Dicken’s David Copperfield. Well written and performed masterfully. Using today’s issues as a backdrop and weaving it into such a touching look into so many aspects of today’s homelessness, growing poverty, and child abandonment due to the drug epidemic. Amazing insight. Great ending. Loved the book!

Interesting story of a family torn by a tragic event. Took some time to get into it. Seemed a bit fragmented it as the story progressed I understood it was not so much about the disappearance but the effect it had on the family. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Historia
Daisy is a girl coming of age in LA in the late '60s, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s 20, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne.

From the legendary actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

Love, love, loved this book!!
Revisado: 09-05-23
Highly recommend. The story started off with questions for me but then it came together very quickly. It was a bit hard to keep on track at first with all the descriptions but I understood why and how it actually helped so much as the story went on. Hanks was superb as the narrator. AND the story was addicting. So engaging. I didn’t want it to end but it did and I loved the ending. I’d give it more hearts if I could.

Historia
For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Raised amid the political violence of 1980s and '90s Colombia, in a house bustling with her mother’s fortune-telling clients, she was a hard child to surprise. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with what the family called “the secrets”: the power to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds.

Drifting off…..
Revisado: 09-05-23
…is where I found myself with this book. I tried. I kept on reading it but just couldn’t engage with it. It seemed to pick up and then it drifted off, again and again. I was determined not to give up but it was hard since the story was so hard to follow. Fragmented, actually. And not cohesive enough to keep me focused. The history and customs were the only thing that got me through this book. I wanted this book to be so much more for me but it just never got to that point. Apologies to the writer, but I do not recommend this book.
